Gostir was the name of one of the Dragons of Morgoth about whom almost nothing is known. He lived in the Withered Heath, close to the people of the Lossoth, the Umli, and the Lotani, but fortunately for them he usually preferred to prey upon animals that wandered into his territory.
Biography
Gostir was a dragon only known by name.[1]
Etymology
Gostir means "terrible sight" in Sindarin, from gos ("horrible") and thîr ("opinion, expression, face").[1]
The earlier form of the name was Gorsthir.[1]
Speculations
- Gostir may or may not had utilized magic arts in form of an ability "death glance" (hence his name) that could be based on the ability of Basilisks.
